About The King of Fighters '96

The King of Fighters '96 refined the series' three-on-three team structure with a faster movement system built around dashing and a rebalanced roster, including the debut of the Kyo-focused sub-story that would carry the plot forward. The Advanced fighting style introduced here would later split into two options in '97, but '96 itself is often remembered for tightening the combo and positioning game just enough to feel distinct from '95 while keeping matches recognisably King of Fighters.
